Emotional moment Sky News reporter finds her uncle in crowd of Sudanese evacuees fleeing violence

A video has caught the emotional moment a news reporter unexpectedly found their uncle in a crowd of evacuees from Sudan.

Sky's Africa correspondent, Yousra Elbagir, was speaking to people who had fled the war-torn African nation and arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The heart-warming video shows Elbagir discussing reporting with her team while at the King Faisal Naval Base.

Elbagir is heard saying: 'maybe we do one more interview', before she suddenly says: 'On my god, that's my uncle! That's my uncle!'

She hurriedly moves through the crowds while the camera follows her before she shouts: 'Uncle!', to get his attention.

Seconds later they embrace as Mohsin, a Sudanese-American surgeon, kissed her head.

According to Sky News, Mohsin boarded a ship in Port Sudan to escape the fighting in Khartoum.

Mohsin immediately starts asking if she's OK, and she replies: 'I'm good!'

He kisses her cheek and said again: 'God bless you.'

They hug again before Elbagir said: 'I didn't know that you came here.'

'We went yesterday. Thank God,' he explained, before adding: 'I can't talk, I'm tired.'

As she prepared to move away, Elbagir said she'd pass on the news to her mother, and added: 'One day we will all be in Sudan together, God willing.'

On Thursday, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces joined the Sudanese military in agreeing to extend the 72-hour truce that has seen fighting lull to allow citizens and foreign nationals to flee.

It comes as The Times reported an RAF plane nearly crashed into another aircraft this week upon its unexpected arrival in Sudan.

Two well-placed German sources told the newspaper a 'very dangerous' landing occurred on Tuesday after German troops were not warned about the arrival of a British C-130J Hercules on the Wadi Seidna air base.

British sources denied last night that the plane had been flown dangerously. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: 'It is untrue to describe this week's operations as anything other than highly co-ordinated and co-operative, particularly with our German partners.

'From the German officers working with UK counterparts on the operation from Cyprus, to UK and German colleagues working at the airfield in Sudan, there has been a spirit of professional and mutual assistance. That co-operation reflects close working with other international partners.'

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has urged all UK nationals wishing to flee Sudan to come forward 'as quickly as possible' despite a three-day extension to the ceasefire being agreed.

The RAF has airlifted nearly 900 people from an airfield near the capital Khartoum but thousands more British nationals may remain in Sudan.

Flights were scheduled to continue regardless but intensified clashes would add extra pressure to the operation and Mr Cleverly had warned that the mission could become 'impossible'.

Mr Cleverly said: 'The UK calls for its full implementation by the generals.

'British evacuation flights are ongoing.

'I urge all British nationals wishing to leave to proceed to the airport as quickly as possible to ensure their safety.'

Britain had been urging the rival generals to extend the ceasefire, which should help stave off a feared humanitarian crisis in Africa's third largest country.

More than 2,000 British nationals in Sudan have registered under the evacuation plans but the true number of citizens there could be far higher.

As of 4pm on Thursday, the Foreign Office said that 897 people had been evacuated over eight RAF airlifts.
